the Church
By loving forces silently surrounded,
I feel quite soothed, secure, and filled with grace.
So I would like to live these days together,
and go with you into another year.
Warm and bright be our candles’ flame today,
since into gloom you brought a gleaming light,
and lead again us, if you will, together!
We know it: you are beaming in the night.
By gracious forces wonderfully sheltered,
we are awaiting fearlessly what comes.
God is with in the evening and in the morning
and certainly every new day.
The church is a place of good powers.
May the force be with you in this game too…
